Gu Sheng stood still and let the old man hit him with the cane.
The old man became even more angry after hitting him. “Look at you, for your friend, a dry wood like you is willing to be beaten by me obediently. Do you still say that you don’t like that man?”
“My sexual orientation is normal, Master.” Gu Sheng stepped forward and held the old man’s arm. “I said that after you passed on, I would take care of Ling’er.”
The old man hit Gu Sheng with the cane again, but did not use much strength this time. “Are you going to tell me again that Ling’er is like your younger sister? I’ve heard you say this about 800 times. Tell me, what’s wrong with our Ling’er? She’s so devoted to you, why don’t you like her?”
“Master, let’s change the topic!”
The old man was so furious he almost spat out blood.
…
After Gu Sheng went to find Ling’er’s master, Nan Zhi stayed by Mu Sihan, who had taken the Calming Pill, and had fallen asleep.
The torture of the parasitic poison made him looked thinner than before.
The contours of his face were more distinct and his facial features more well defined.
Her slender fingers caressed his beautifully arched eyebrows to his tall nose and then to his tightly pursed lips.
With his condition now, she only dared to be so close to him when he was asleep.
Lowering her head slowly, she gave a light kiss on his well-defined face.
“Sister Nan, my master is here.”
Ling’er pushed the door open, Gu Sheng and the old master following behind. Gu Sheng was much taller than Ling’er so he saw Nan Zhi kissing Mu Sihan’s cheek.
His clear eyes dimmed slightly but very soon, it returned to normal.
The old master beside him did not miss that subtle expression in Gu Sheng’s eyes. So this brat refused to like Ling’er because there was someone in his heart. However, it was not the man on the bed, but rather, the woman by his side.
The old master looked at Nan Zhi, wanting to see how this woman, who Gu Sheng could not forget, looked like.
Nan Zhi stood up after hearing Ling’er’s voice.
Her skin was soft and smooth, and she looked pure and beautiful.
Standing there, she was like a blooming orchid, fresh, elegant and noble.
Nan Zhi bowed in awe and respect when she saw Ling’er’s master and greeted him politely, “Hello, Old Mr Bai. I’m sorry to bother you with our sudden visit. My friend has been poisoned by ‘Together with You’ and every day he would be tortured by this parasitic poison. I wonder if you have any cure for this?”
Old Mr Bai looked at the man on the bed. He looked like a man of high aspirations, his status must be very noble.
And the woman who the brat liked must not be a nobody, but she was not at all arrogant or rude. This kind of respect to him reflected her qualities and upbringing.
“It’s not like I will treat anyone who comes here. Besides, this ‘Together with You’…” Old Mr Bai waved his hands. “I’m not going to treat it!”
Ling’er grabbed Old Mr Bai’s arm, pouted her lips and act coquettishly. “Master, these are all friends of Brother Ah Sheng. If you don’t save him, Brother Ah Sheng will be sad, and Ling’er will be upset too. Master, just treat it as you’re helping Ling’er!”
Old Mr Bai stretched out his hand and poked at Ling’er’s forehead. “You’re too kind.”
“Master, saving one’s life is better than to build a pagoda of seven storeys!”
Old Mr Bai’s eyes swept to Gu Sheng. “Brat, if you marry Ling’er, I’ll save him.”
A blush appeared on Ling’er’s delicate face and she stamped her foot in embarrassment. “Master, how can you do that? Brother Ah Sheng won’t marry me and I won’t get married either. I will always be with Master!”
Gu Sheng looked at the old man with an expressionless face. “Master, I’ve been telling you, I will take care of Ling’er.”
Old Mr Bai wanted to hit Gu Sheng with the cane again.
You could say that he was ruthless, but he was deeply in love.
You could say that he had feelings, but he was ruthless to Ling’er.
Bad fellow!
Old Mr Bai touched his beard and waved his hand. “Fine, everyone out of this room except this young lady!”
Gu Sheng looked at Nan Zhi and nodded at her, reassuring her.
After Ling’er and Gu Sheng left, Old Mr Bai sat by the bed. He looked at Mu Sihan’s eyes and checked his pulse.
“Other than the parasitic poison, his body is strong and there doesn’t seem to have any other problems.”
Nan Zhi nodded.
“Young lady, I can get rid of the parasitic poison from him but I have to tell you something in advance.”
Looking at the old master whose expression became serious, Nan Zhi’s heart also became tight and her fingers curled up slightly. She said softly, “Please tell me!”
“This method is to use a parasite to draw that parasite in his body. But once my parasite enters a human body, it will make the person emotionless, you have to be prepared!”
“What?”
Nan Zhi stepped back several steps unsteadily.
“Emotionless? Old Mr Bai, do you mean that he will forget about me?”
“No, he will remember you. But in the future, he would not be moved, nor would he have any lustful desires. Unless the love between you and him have reached a point where it is unforgettable, only then would you be able to wake him up again.”
Unforgettable love?
Nan Zhi did not know what it meant to be unforgettable, but she was confident in their feelings. As long as he did not forget her, she believed that he would still have feelings for her.
She did not want to see him being tortured by the parasite anymore and being controlled by that shady Princess Lucy.
Even if there would be setbacks in their relationship, she was not afraid!
Nan Zhi bit her lips hard. She looked at the old master with moist eyes and said with a determined expression, “Old Mr Bai, as long as the parasite in him can be removed, I am willing to bear whatever price there is.”
Old Mr Bai looked at Nan Zhi and could not help thinking about his silly Ling’er. In this world, there were really such silly nice lasses.
“Don’t you want to think about it?” Old Mr Bai touched his long white beard and said with his eyes slightly narrowed, “From what I know, he will be safe as long as he sleeps with the woman who gave him the parasite.”
“He won’t share a room with another woman,” Nan Zhi’s expression was firm as she continued, “I have confidence in our feelings!”
“Okay, I’ll go and get prepared.”
After Old Mr Bai left, Nan Zhi went to the bedside again.
Looking at Mu Sihan’s carved-like handsome facial features, tears filled her eyes.
Her slightly pursed lips moved and she said with a hoarse voice, “Mu Sihan, after you have recovered, you’ll still have feelings for me, right? You’re like a wolf that is always hungry, if I flirt with you deliberately, you won’t be able to hold it in, right?
“So, I have nothing to fear…”
She lowered her head and sealed his lips slowly with hers.
She bit his lips and said with a bitter voice, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have affections or desires. I’m just happy not to be worried about being raped by you anymore.”
